The What is it? Game (2 Viewers)

B-17 man carrying pod. Used as a demo idea for a proposed atomic bomber. I believe this one is actually our own B-17 'Sally B'

Forgot to say, its mounted way out on the wing tip

 

[GrauGeist]

Thought the wing pods on 44-85784 were for GE's radar testing in the early 1950's.

Neat side note on that: Richard Vogt of Blohm und Voss had gone to Wright Patterson AFB after the war and was involved in a good deal research there,so it's a very good chance that he helped in the wingpod design.

there's our winner

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Cool, never seen that variation Norab. Way to go Gary!

 

[KiwiBiggles]

A point about the P-51 - they're pulse jets (derived from V-1), not ramjets. The ramjet version had its Marquardt ramjets at the tips, not underslung.

Also, could I ask that pictures be included here as inline images (as in Norab's submissions above) not attached images (as Geedee). Some of the style sheets, especially the mobile-specific ones, won't display attached images.

That's interesting, as my ipad and iphone don't have any trouble viewing images posted in any method (though some videos won't show)...

Perhaps Horse should know about that problem

 

[Geedee]

Some-one else want to take this one, i'm kinda busy for a little while

 

[ScreamingLighting]

Don't mind if I do. Have a go at this one!

 

[Graeme]

Another Frenchman?

 

[Geedee]

A Frenchman may have seen one somewhere doing something or other, but I'm thinking its a Yak 23

And cancel that, the 23's nose leg retracts forward

 

[ScreamingLighting]

Another Frenchman?

Indeed, they sure do make a lot of obscure planes, don't they?

 

[Graeme]

Thanks for the clue mate. Maybe the forward section of the VG-90 then?

 

[ScreamingLighting]

Could I expect anything else? It is indeed the VG-90, looks like it's your turn Graeme.

 

[Graeme]

Thanks SL.

Try this one...

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I've seen this, can't remember where at the moment, but I've seen it.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Russian or British?

 

[GrauGeist]

Hmmm...tricycle gear...so that narrows it down.

I'm assuming this is WWII era

 

[norab]

Not sure about WWII, might be turboprop

 

[Graeme]

Russian or British?

Neither mate. French!

I'm assuming this is WWII era

Post WW2 Dave...

might be turboprop

Yep, turboprops...

 

[norab]

DF 94 ?
